At the cultural heart of our city, Te Manawa draws art, science and heritage together to reflect our past, illuminate the present and inspire a creative and sustainable future for our growing region and its people. Our public want deeper and more energetic access to their museums. They want to see and hear their stories told, in their own voices. They are right to demand inclusion, representation and participation. These make for personal experiences that touch them emotionally, inspire them creatively and give life and mana to their collective heritage – making for an exciting place to live. The main goal of Te Manawa Museums Trust is to provide the people of Manawatū and beyond with interactive experiences in art, science and heritage. For us, it is all about connection. People should feel passionate and excited about, and attached to Te Manawa, the collections we care for, and the experiences we shape with them.

The Inspire Me Store and Wellness Centre is the creation of Michelle Grey, a woman with a passion for personal development and the Law of Attraction. In establishing Inspire Me in 2009, Michelle wanted to create a place where people could find tools such as books, CDs, DVDs and card decks that would help them navigate this exciting journey called life. Discovering Abraham-Hicks and Wayne Dyer that year transformed her life, resulting in the creation of Inspire Me. Michelle's love of beautiful things means the store is constantly filled with an interesting and eclectic range of gifts. A variety of holistic services are offered daily by independent practitioners working out of rooms at Inspire Me. We invite you to experience Inspire Me and perhaps allow your life to be transformed.
